HereForTheTea Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi, I’m considering switching over to an iPad Pro to use Affinity Designer with. I currently use inDesign on a MacBook Pro to link over 500 images That are about 15mb each. I eventually export this document - that ends up being over a hundred pages long - into a secured PDF to send out. I’m wondering if 1. The iPad Pro will be able to handle a document this large? 2. Exporting to interactive PDFs (with bookmarks) supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted April 7, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi HereForTheTea, Welcome to the forums, It is not possible to create protected or interactive PDFs with Designer I'm afraid. However it should in theory be able to handle a document like that on iPad performance wise. Thanks Callum HereForTheTea 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

I’m wondering if Check out Readdle (Documents/PDFExpert pro) for iOS. These easily handle 100page PDF docs and you can set up bookmarks and links to pages, images and URL in secured document.

HereForTheTea Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks Callum, I’m currently working on a file on my MacBook with Publisher and the file size came up close to 1GB with images embedded, (200+ art boards). It slowed my MacBook down significantly by this point, using up around 10GB of RAM. Hoping this won’t happen on iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
